I wanted to try again in a bigger size to see if I liked the shorts or not. This time I traced and cut a 152 because I had Miss K try on her brother's Harrison shorts I made on February 25th and they fit her with a little room.

I used the same fabric for the shorts because I liked the look of the first pair. The corduroy was on sale at Hancock for $2 a yard when I picked it up awhile ago. I had 2 yards so I had enough for the second pair. I also had just enough of the owl fabric in scraps to pull this off but it was close! When I was finished I picked out the most amazing purple-pink button from my vintage pail.

After all the work and anticipation I have to say I really don't like the shorts! The pleated front poofs out and Miss K doesn't like that either. I love the back and the dart shaping there but the front just isn't our style. I doubt these will get worn much this summer. So I'm still searching for a great shorts pattern for Miss K.
